Discover Your Cat's "Real Age"

Science Diet pet food is hosting an online quiz to help cat owners determine their cat's 'Real Age', not just their calendar age.  I often have people ask me how old their cat is, in 'cat years', so as to compare to humans age.  Most people like to go by the simple rule of multiplying the cats calender age times 7, to say compare them to a 80 year old person.  I find that this isn't uniformly accurate, because of environmental and/or individual cat differences.

Science Diet has taken an innovative approach to cats age.  They ask questions about the cats body type and lifestyle, such as eating habits and activity levels, then calculates whether the cat is older, younger, or about the same age as its calendar year.  This questions are helpful in making you more aware of things you can do or change to make your cat healthier and live longer.  I really like the questions about exercise and measured feedings.  I think these are the two biggest things that cat owners aren't aware of.  That cats do need exercise and most cats really need to have their food measured and the amount regulated -no free choice..... :-(
